The finite element method (FEM) package SyFi is a C++ library built on top of
the symbolic math library GiNaC. The name SyFi stands for Symbolic Finite
Elements. The package provides polygonal domains, polynomial spaces, and
degrees of freedom as symbolic expressions that are easily manipulated. This
makes it easy to define finite elements and variational forms. These elements
and forms are then used to generate efficient C++ code.
SyFi is similar to FFC in the sense that it has a compiler that generates UFC
code based on variational forms and finite elements. It is also similar to
FIAT in the sense that it implements many different finite elements.
This package contains the shared libraries.
